Tillman’s Roadhouse

I had the airplane chicken? Airline chicken? I forgot, but it was so good. The meat was so tender and the veggies were delicious. The only problem was the slow service at first but it improved by the end of the night

We’ve been here a few times now, both the Fort Worth and Dallas locations.
the food isn’t that great and you have to look at what you’re paying for!
$ 12 French Fries or tater tots?
S’mores that you cook yourself = graham crackers with marshmallows on a board. Yep.
Staff that doesn’t know the menu, doesn’t bring correct sides.
It’s a cool scene, dude. And you pay for that.
The food — not so much. It’s pretty similar to what you’d get at a nice back yard bbq with friends bringing their special potluck dishes in.
Sorry Tillman’s. We’ve tried 4 times now.

2.75 based on value.
So, this place is OK. The décor is interesting, if a little incomplete. Dinner on a SAturday night with reservations.
— The table wasn’t ready at the appointed time, but hey, it was ready almost immediately.
— Our server was quite good. ⁴⁄₅. SUPER nice guy.
— Salmon tosadas were probably the highlight of my meal. Not super flavorful, but light and fresh.
— The pulled pork sandwich, which high quality meat, was a little lacking in sauce. Pretty good. HEAVY.
— The red fish tacos. The BBQ sauce is just missing a little something. It was blander than I would like. But the piece of fish was beautiful and perfectly cooked. The peppers served with the dish were mild and smoky.
— Their blood orange margaritas: PASS. Overpriced; not good. Mediocre marg for a restaurant like this.
So that’s the thing about this place. You won’t regret going. The food is all OK. But for the price, you can probably do better. If the price point were taken down a bit, or the flavors taken up, I can see it. Lots of the dishes are above $ 20, so it’s on the high end of the «$$» Unilocal designation.

Wow, great food, great atmosphere. My 8 year old wanted the s’mores but the grown ups couldn’t stop eating them. Great service and bar tender who recommended a perfect wine for our meal. I will be back next time I visit!

We enjoyed the service our server was funny and did a good job keeping up with our needs. Food was good and I would recommend the chicken fried steak or ribs.
Their tater tots are also very good. I would not recommend the flat iron steak due to portion size and it was too salty

Waited 10 minutes before getting up to ask for a server. It took a while to get drinks. The Mojito was made incorrectly. The menu listed online is not accurate. Certain items are seasonal. Came here for the Venison Frito Pie only to find out it was unavailable. The food was too salty. Waited to get check before finally asking for it. In conclusion the service is pretty terrible.

We went here for brunch today. It was good, but not what I expected after all the hype I’d heard. The Bloody Mary’s were good, but lacking a little in the spice department. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs and this is where my major disappointment was. My first clue should have been when the waiter asked my how I liked my steak done. Wait, what? CFS is battered and fried and served crispy on the outside, done on the inside. Tenderized round steak or cube steak, right? Not here. It’s tenderloin medallions breaded and deep fried and it was a little tough. My husband ordered the Pimento BLT and it was very good. It will be my go to dish if I ever go back here for brunch again.

Make your own smores over a personal open fire place is the best idea anyone ever had. Waitress (Carrie I think) was awesome. Its the coolest looking place in FtWorth. My daddy and i love it here!

Would have given five stars, but the value is just not quite there… excellent food, fun desserts, ample menu and reasonably good service. Most of the menu items are excellent, the some-​mores are great and you can hardly go wrong with any of the desserts!!!

Goodness. Order the tots. If I ever end up ordering a last meal, they will be on the menu. I want to become lost in a bathtub full and eat my way out. We also ordered the fish tacos and they were very good; the BBQ sauce was sweet and the peppers toasted to perfection.

Came for Sunday brunch, great experience! We were promptly seated, I had the wedge salad with the pecans and dressing to start, very crisp and fresh. My wife had the heirloom tomatoes salad with watermelon very tasty. Main entrees were chicken fried steak and eggs, the portion was perfect, will my side kick had the chili relleno and eggs, the stutter of silence was all I needed to not hear to know how much she enjoyed it. Great experience, good atmosphere!

Love this place! Their fries are AMAZING! Sat in the bar area. Service was great! Foods a little pricey but very good. Drink menu is amazing!

Let me tell you about their chicken fried steak. Actually I don’t even think I can put it into words. That charred poblano gravy makes angels sing. And it’s actual chunks of steak that hasn’t been beaten down. Aka: you can get beautifully prepared medium rare steak with a tasty breading over it. It’s INCREDIBLE. Hands down the best I’ve ever had.

We met some friends here around 11:00am for their Sunday brunch. Not crowded, and we were seated immediately outside in a nicely shaded spot on this beautiful day.
Kicked things off with the Monkey bread (good with lots of pecans) and their fries trio — the pickle-​flavored dipping sauce with the sweet potato fries was our favorite combo.
The four of us all enjoyed our reasonably priced, avg sized entrees. The chile relleno and eggs benny were good, but the pork sliders were better. The shrimp and grits were spectacular though.
Sunday is Happy Hour ALL day (!!!), so my gin and tonic was only $ 3.00. The mimosa’s ($ 5.00) were enjoyed.
Finished the meal by all sharing the apple crisp dessert and the smores. We all preferred the smores over the apple crisp. I’d recommend saving your money and appetite, and walk a few blocks over to Sweet Sammies for something sweeter and cheaper, or grab the homemade brownie with ice cream next door at Thirteen Pies…

The atmosphere here is great and really cool… However, the service was awful. It took us 30 minutes to get our drink. Our waiter seem so unenthusiastic about everything. I asked him what a «scorpion pepper» was which was in our drink and he just shrugged. We didn’t see him for at least another 30 minutes then he begrudging took our order — food was good and the experience could have been great it was just our waiter was so bad

The husband and I just came here for the Smores. Yes, they get 4 stars all on their own. What’s more awesome than doing smores table side? You get three different flavors of marshmallows; regular, strawberry, and mint.
I will definitely be back to try the food!

One of my favorite have to when I’m in town
Best bartender great drinks awesome food great service

We stopped in tonite for some late night gnoshing. Service was great even though we were out on patio and not with a lot of other people. Good sign. Wines were good and reasonably priced.
We ordered two starters, smoked duck nacho, and lobster quesadilla. Both had good flavor, however the serving temperature on both was a bit tepid, particularly the lobster. Really no excuse for this since the place was not crowded.
I will come back to try some stuff from the new menu and because the service was great (ask for Horton)

Truffle butter popcorn! Ahhhh!
I’ve been here a few times now and I’ve always enjoyed my meal. I had their smoked chicken when they still had it, and I just ordered the halibut last week. Very flaky, fresh and flavorful (wow, three F’s). It came with green beans and rice, very tasty and filling. We also had a few apps for the table. Fried okra and pickles. of course it was good, but man, the truffle goat cheese tots were amazing.
Did I mention the truffle butter popcorn?!

Everyone is hating on Tillman’s but I have had nothing but great experiences here. I came here with a large group and a group of two and both times our service was great.
Everyone’s review already mentions the amazing truffle popcorn you receive gratis upon sitting down. Eat it… eat it all and keep asking for more because it never gets old.
The menu is an interesting one. If you’re not very adventurous, I’m not sure I would recommend this place to you. There are things like burgers, caesar salads, and french fries, but they all are flavored with fun and interesting sauces and dressings. Of course you can order it plain, but that takes the fun out of it. I’ve had the pork tenderloin, lobster tamales, and venison chili pie and they are all to die for.
You’re also dining in an adorable Texas-​Vintage woodsy atmosphere. It’s very unique and touristy. The door handles to enter the restaurant are metal shotguns and the walls are made of what look like tree bark. Bring your relatives or visitors from other states here to give them an interesting take on Texas cuisine and atmosphere.
Also, random fact… the goat cheese tater tots that come as a side with your meal are the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth. And yes… that is a fact.
